There's practically no reason to offer a review of Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It's going to sell millions upon millions of copies regardless of what anyone says. We all know it's phenomenally fun and destined to become Wii's biggest game of all time, so what else should a review even bother to say? Spend 500 words arguing about wave dashing or meteor smashes? Nah, we'll just say "buy this immediately" and let you get back to smashing. ...

The Brawl to make all other games bawl
Jan 17, 2008
If Mario Galaxy is a celebration of everything that makes the bounding plumber special, then Smash Bros. Brawl takes it one step further: a celebration of everything that makes Nintendo special. Name any Nintendo franchise and the likelihood is that you can play as a character from it or at least yank out some element from the game to help smash a foes face off. The concept is as simple as ever - damage your opponent to the extent that you can blast them from the fighting arena. Now bundle ...   » Read Full Super Smash Bros. Brawl preview

Dec 3, 2007 It never stops growing! No, not that mole on your grannys neck - Smash Bros. With 3 months to go and still time left to announce Phoenix Wright on the roster (dont we wish), this game is cementing its position as the greatest game ever made. But why speculate when what has been confirmed already has our hearts beating at worrying rates? After a Sonic-flavored roundhouse kick, Brawl maestro Masahiro Sakurai has continued his offensive with a level design function (yay!) and ...   » Read Full Super Smash Bros. Brawl preview

Wii: First video of the most anticipated Wii game ever
May 11, 2006
Sneaky Nintendo. They didn't utter a single syllable about the Wii entry in the Super Smash Brothers franchise. Yet, tonight, in a special event for a select few lucky souls, we got our first look at it. And Nintendo even gave us video. Many of the details of the new game, titled Super Smash Bros. Brawl, are still vague: the release date is just "2007", and while we're promised online modes and a more robust single-player experience, there's no word on how that will actually be ...   » Read Full Super Smash Bros.

We've known about the Revolution for almost two years now and have barely heard a peep about actual software coming out for the system. But of the few titles confirmed, multiplayer beat 'em up Super Smash Bros. is the first to make us slightly wee ourselves in anticipation. We threw some classic screens up just to honor the occasion. To say little is known is … about all we can say. Other than the fact that it'll exist, nothing is currently known. But for, oh, a few million Nintendo ...   » Read Full Super Smash Bros.

Brawl is a quick to learn fighting game with many new features like online, the ability to create your own stages and record matches, and a wider variety of characters. But because of the online feature, brawl was significantly slowed down.
The characters randomly slip and fall leaving yourself open for a second or two. Some characters practically float when they jump in the air. The characters easily grab onto the edge from extreme distances making it super easy for opponents to return to the stage. Characters can do multiple quick attacks by simply keeping the A button pressed... where's the skill in that? A big let down is not being able to control where you want to move during a mid-air dodge (no more wave dashing...) Some called it a glitch but if you learned how to do it, it would really improve your control over your character. A huge let down was not being able to L cancel! L canceling was the best way to move quickly and get good combos in.

Brawl is OK, but when it comes to the actual fighting, melee dominates. After becoming a pro at melee I realized the drastic changes done to brawl and I prefer the good ol' fun I got from melee.
